VNC Server may already
be running on the host computer, but to make sure, and if you have access,
follow the appropriate instructions for the host computer’s platform
below. If you do not have access, contact your system administrator or
a host computer user.

• Under Windows, select RealVNC
> VNC Server from the Start menu,
or double-click the VNC Server desktop
icon, if available. Note administrative privileges are required to perform
this operation.

• Under UNIX/Linux, select Applications > Internet > VNC Server (User Mode)
from the menu system, or search for this application using the standard
facility.

Note: If no menu system
or search facility is available, open a Terminal window, run the command
vncserver-x11, and press the ENTER key. Note
you should not do this as a user with administrative
privileges.

If
the status bar is green, VNC Server should
be licensed and configured correctly for connections.

If VNC Server is not licensed,
or is not configured correctly, the status bar turns red. Click the Show button that appears, and follow the instructions.
